Every late-night talk show host has, at one point or another, made a cameo in a television show or movie as themselves. They are often seen interviewing guests as if their characters were real and not the actors who play them. In one recent small screen instance, for example, Jimmy Fallon appeared in the Peacock series Girls5eva, interviewing the women from the fictional former girl group.But many of the most popular late-night talk show hosts have also dabbled in acting, appearing in projects as characters, not themselves. James Corden, for example, was a sitcom star in the U.K. before he began hosting his late show in America. And Stephen Colbert was also in Girls5eva, but playing a character, a record producer named Alf Musik. But there have been movie appearances, too.10 Jimmy Fallon – Fever Pitch (2005)Fallon has made mention of his failed movie career many times on both The Tonight Show and his previous talk show, often in reference to the fact that it was through the 2005 movie Fever Pitch that he met his now wife.Fallon starred alongside Drew Barrymore in the romantic comedy, which was produced by the company Barrymore owns alongside Nancy Juvonen. She introduced the two and the rest is history. The movie itself was a remake of the 1997 British film of the same name, which itself was based on a 1992 book, with a focus on baseball instead of soccer. 9 James Corden – Cats (2019)Some fans don’t realize that while Corden is best known in North America as host of The Late Late Show with James Corden, he was actually known in the U.K. for his acting and writing. He is most notable for the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, but James Corden has also had plenty of other great roles.He has continued to act alongside hosting, including voicing the title character in the Peter Rabbit movie in 2018 and its 2021 sequel. He also starred in the 2019 musical fantasy film Cats, based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical. He played Bustopher Jones and was in good company with a star-studded cast that also included Dame Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Rebel Wilson, Taylor Swift, and others.8 Jimmy Kimmel (PAW Patrol: The Movie)Kimmel has joked many times on his long-running late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! how even his voice acting role in PAW Patrol: The Movie didn’t impress his young children. Indeed, Kimmel, who rose to fame as co-host of The Man Show, fittingly voiced the character of Marty Muckraker, a news anchor at the fictional Adventure City News Network.This isn’t the extent of his voice acting: often known for voicing dog characters, Kimmel also lent his voice acting talents to Garfield: The Movie, and was the voice of Death’s Dog in an episode of Family Guy.7 Jimmy Fallon (Taxi)While Fallon truly rose to fame once he was cast on Saturday Night Live, he also tried his hands at movies while he was working on the sketch comedy series. Once such film was the buddy cop movie alongside Queen Latifah called Taxi.A remake of the French film, Taxi wasn’t received well by critics, but Fallon still went forward with Fever Pitch, his second major role. The movie flops were a hit to his self-esteem, but Fallon finally found his stride as a late-night talk show host and eventually got the opportunity to take over the illustrious The Tonight Show.6 John Oliver (The Lion King)John Oliver has done some acting in his time before taking over the political late-night talk show circuit with Last Week Tonight, which is the top-ranked late night talk show, according to IMDb. Most recently, he voiced the character of Zazu in The Lion King in 2019. The computer animated musical drama by Jon Favreau had a star-studded voice cast that also included the likes of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Zazu was a hornbill, majordomo and King of the Pride Lands.Oliver has had a few other voice acting roles in movies, including as Vanity Smurf in The Smurfs, The Smurfs 2, and The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow, and as Steve in Wonder Park. He also played a character named Dick Pants in 2008’s The Love Guru.5 Jon Stewart (Big Daddy)Stewart, of course, is known for his long-time award-winning tenure on Comedy Central satirical news show The Daily Show. But he had been acting long before that.One of his most memorable early roles was in the Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy, where he played Kevin Garrity, the roommate of Sandler’s lead character Sonny and the biological father of the young boy who Sonny ends up caring for to prove to his ex-girlfriend that he can be responsible.4 Chelsea Handler (This Means War)Handler is a veteran within the stand-up comedy circuit, and hosted her own late-night talk show, Chelsea Lately, for many years, from 2007-2015. She then went on to create her own documentaries for Netflix.Within her busy schedule, however, Handler has also made time to appear in a handful of movies. One such role was a small one in the movie This Means War, which starred Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, and Tom Hardy. She had a small role as Trish, Witherspoon’s character’s best friend.3 Arsenio Hall (Coming To America)While Hall’s successful career as a late-night talk show host back in the ’90s, The Arsenio Hall Show, had people chattering that he could be the successor to Johnny Carson for The Tonight Show, Hall is almost as well-known for his supporting role in the 1988 movie Coming to America, in which he starred with comedic icon Eddie Murphy.Hall and Murphy reunited to star in the sequel movie Coming to America 2, which was released in 2021. It remains one of the best movies in which actors play multiple characters.2 Jay Leno (Cars)It’s no surprise given his distinctive voice that Leno has done many voice acting roles in animated films. But one of the most notable ones is from the massive hit movie Cars from 2006. He didn’t play himself, but he did play a talking car named Jay Limo in a cameo role. He has also voiced many other characters, including Fast Tony in Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006), Jack O’Lantern in Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King (2008), and King Malbert in Igor (2008).Leno, of course, is one of the most successful and well-known late-night talk show hosts, having headed up The Jay Leno Show for many years, as well as original (and returning) successor to The Tonight Show before and after Conan O’Brien until Fallon officially took over.1 Seth Meyers (Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist) Meyers was cast member on Saturday Night Live, but most notably co-host of the Weekend Update segment. He was also one of the best SNL cast members who debuted in the 2000s, and was also a writer for the show. But fans might not realize that he had done acting beyond his sketch comedy roles on that series.While Meyers mostly had minor roles beyond cameos as himself in movies like The Interview, he did play a small character in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. His character didn’t even have a name, though: he was simply credited as “drunk guy in Yugo.” He also had small roles in Journey to the Center of the Earth and Spring Breakdown. Meyers, of course, currently hosts Late Night with Seth Meyers.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become quite adept at building up the stardom of those who play its most famous superheroes, elevating the likes of Chris Evans and Chris Pratt to action hero superstardom. However, many superheroes of the MCU are also portrayed by actors and actresses with lengthy and prestigious resumes. This includes several who have actually managed to obtain the holy grail of film awards: an Oscar. This being the case, it’s no surprise that the characters they play end up being some of the most fascinating in this shared universe.Tilda Swinton has earned a reputation as one of her generation’s finest living actresses, playing a wide variety of characters, from evil sorceresses to gender-bending time travelers. She earned an Oscar for her role of Karen Crowder in Michael Clayton, and in the MCU she is famous for playing the Ancient One in Doctor Strange.The Ancient One is a being of immense power and mystery. Swinton brings her signature strangeness to this part, somehow making the Ancient One both compelling and more than a little frightening.Like Swinton, Natalie Portman has earned herself quite a reputation as an actress, appearing in a wide range of cinematic genres, including science-fiction, space opera, drama, and biopic. Unsurprisingly, she has also been nominated for numerous awards for her acting ability.She ultimately took home the statuette for best actress for her astonishing performance in Darren Aronovsky’s Black Swan. In the MCU, she has made the most out of the character Jane Foster, and she is slated to take on more importance as the Mighty Thor in next year’s Thor: Love and Thunder.There are few actresses who have achieved quite the level of superstardom as Angelia Jolie. She has repeatedly proven her versatility as a star, and she has been in numerous types of roles, earning an Academy Award for Girl, Interrupted.Her role as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, however, may be the role that has most defined her stardom, and it helps to explain why she was chosen to play the character Thena in the upcoming Eternals. Fans will once again get to see Jolie step in front of the camera as an action star.The various movies centered on Thor tend to have a bit of a lighter touch than the other parts of the MCU, but there is also a bit of a sinister strain underneath the humor. For instance, Matt Damon is slated to reprise his role as an actor portraying Loki in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.It’s a bit of a stretch – he’s only an actor playing Loki, who is more of an anti-hero than a hero –  but he is a well-respected actor and has many nominations and awards under his belt, including an Oscar for screenwriting for Good Will Hunting.Gwyneth Paltrow is a bit of Hollywood royalty, being the daughter of director Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner. However, she is also a formidable acting talent in her own right, as evidenced by her lengthy resume and the critical praise that her performances often receive.Among her many accolades, she won an Academy Award for best actress for Shakespeare in Love. Fans of the MCU, however, know her best as Pepper Potts, the longtime love interest of Iron Man.Despite her relative youth, Lupita Nyong’o has still managed to build up quite a list of acting credits, and she often receives critical acclaim for the powerful intensity that she brings to almost every role that she creates.She received the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in 12 Years a Slave, and she has become similarly acclaimed for her role as Nakia in Black Panther, one of that film’s most popular characters.Brie Larson has a well-deserved reputation for bringing out the humanity and empathy of her often-troubled characters, as can be seen in her role in Room, the film for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.She brought that considerable talent to her role as Captain Marvel, one of the later additions to the MCU and one that proved to be crucial to the Avengers as they sought to defeat Thanos and restore the lives of half of the universe.There are few actors who have quite the reputation and resume of Michael Douglas who, like Gwyneth Paltrow, is a bit of Hollywood royalty (his father was the famous screen legend Kirk Douglas).In the MCU, he is most famous for playing the character of Hank Pym, the man who invented the Ant-Man suit and would eventually become a mentor to the man who succeeded him as the wearer of the suit, Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang.Taika Waititi has established himself as a versatile person in Hollywood, earning him acclaim for his roles both behind and in front of the camera and in both film and television.He won an Academy Award for his screenplay for Jojo Rabbit, and he has received several other nominations for both his work. In the MCU, he’s best known for portraying the character Korg, who joins the Avengers as they attempt to defeat Thanos.Daniel Kaluuya has earned quite a lot of respect as an actor, both for his haunting performance in the horror film Get Out, as well as his more recent role as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah, becoming one of the youngest people to win the prestigious acting award.Among fans of the MCU, he has earned a lot of popularity for playing the character of W’Kabi, one of the movie’s more interesting characters. Though he initially supports T’Challa, he betrays him before finally surrendering during the final battle.Russell Crowe has a formidable reputation in Hollywood, having acted in several high-budget blockbuster epics. In one of those, Gladiator, he played the title character Maximus, the man who rebels against an emperor before perishing in the arena.It was the role that earned him an Oscar, and he has gone on to perform in several more high-profile epic films, and he is slated to portray the character of Zeus in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.

News: Fantastic Four: 10 Best Female Villains |

The Fantastic Four count some of the greatest supervillains in Marvel Comics as their enemies, like Doctor Doom or Galactus. The majority of them are men, but a number of their adversaries in the last sixty years have been women. Some are fairly well known to comics readers, while others are a bit more obscure.Allegiances often shift in comics – even Doctor Doom has worked with the FF at times – so it should be no surprise that some of their female enemies have been allied with the team on occasion. But all of them are powerful and potential foes for the Fantastic Four when they finally make their debut in the MCU in the coming years.10 KarismaKarisma is a fairly obscure villain from the classic run by John Byrne, who was responsible for some of the best Fantastic Four story arcs in the 80s. Her primary power was the ability to control men via a strange and powerful invention.Karisma ingrained a special radioactive isotope in makeup products that she designed, which then allowed her to make men do whatever she wanted. The product didn’t work on women, though, making her plans for criminal enterprise extremely vulnerable to the Invisible Woman.9 Psycho-WomanFantastic Four fans are likely familiar with Psycho-Man, but may not be aware of his daughter, Psycho-Woman. In Fantastic Four Annual #32, she sought revenge against the team for their battles against her father. Though her powers of emotional manipulation were essentially the same as his, there were some key differences. Her emotional focus was envy, disgust, and indifference, whereas Psycho-Man preyed on fear, hate, and doubt. She could also change her size at will, but it didn’t help her achieve her goal of revenge.8 ThundraThundra came back in time from the 23rd century to fight The Thing in single combat since she thought he was the strongest man on Earth. She is incredibly strong herself, easily his equal, and though she doesn’t have his rocky exterior, she is almost as invulnerable.Thundra has superhuman speed, stamina, and reflexes, all of which make her one of the greatest martial artists in Marvel Comics. Even with her superior combat skills, she also uses a number of weapons, including her favorite instrument, a linked chain.7 TitaniaTitania has been a member of the Frightful Four and a fairly regular antagonist of the Fantastic Four since her debut in 1985’s Secret Wars event. She is incredibly strong, strong enough to take on The Thing and She-Hulk, who has since become her primary nemesis.Titania is also extremely durable and highly reflexive, making her a challenging opponent in any fight. Her many battles with She-Hulk comprise a number of awesome storylines that the upcoming She-Hulk MCU series could adapt, especially since the character is slated to appear.6 Lucia von BardasLucia von Bardas is the prime minister of the fictional Marvel Comics country of Latveria, who rose to power after Doctor Doom was pushed out of the country. Augmented with cybernetic implants created by Doom, she’s a powerful antagonist who has been a thorn for both the Fantastic Four and S.H.I.E.L.D.Her implants allow her to fly and generate energy shields, making her secure against most forms of attack. She is susceptible to hacking though, as both Ironheart and Doom himself have demonstrated in combat against her.5 MedusaMedusa is one of the most powerful Inhumans and has been an enemy of the Fantastic Four at times. While a member of the original Frightful Four, she used her copious red hair as he primary weapon.Through psionic control, she can manipulate her long, flowing hair into whips, lashes, or rope. Her hair is incredibly strong, with the tensile strength to lift an enormous weight. It’s also highly resistant to damage of any kind. Because she’s an Inhuman, Medusa is also super strong, agile, and durable.4 MaliceMalice is a psionic entity that took over the mind of the Invisible Woman, with the unwanted assistance of the Psycho-Man and his soldier, Hate-Monger. Since she was in control of Sue Storm, Malice had all of Sue’s powers at her disposal.Not only could Malice turn invisible, but she was also able to make others invisible, generate force fields, and in some cases create invisible projectiles. Because of this, she was very difficult to defeat, and Sue Storm repeatedly fought her for control for years.3 Nebula / Ravonna RenslayerComic book fans know Ravonna Renslayer is the lover of Kang The Conqueror. They may not know she was also an enemy of the Fantastic Four. While impersonating Nebula, she manipulated the team into going into the timestream in a massive gamble to achieve the power to destroy Kang.Though Ravonna’s powers and abilities are limited in nature, she was a master of disguise. Her ambitions also might be the greatest of any of the Fantastic Four’s enemies. She very nearly succeeded in destroying the team by bringing them face to face with Galactus and the first use of the Ultimate Nullifier in Marvel Comics.2 NovaNova isn’t entirely a villain of the Fantastic Four, but as a herald of Galactus, she’s inherently at odds with them. Frankie Raye was the Human Torch’s girlfriend for a time, but then she accepted an offer by Galactus to become his herald.She gained the Power Cosmic and assisted him without any reservations in his quest to consume worlds. With the Power Cosmic, she was able to fly at the speed of light, project devastating blasts of cosmic energy equal to that of solar flares, and manipulate cosmic energy at will.1 LyjaLyja is a tragic figure who betrayed the Fantastic Four. A Skrull in disguise, she impersonated Alicia Masters for years in the comics, using her natural ability to shapeshift to spy on the team for her masters. She also has superhuman strength, agility, and stamina. Her Skrull physiology also includes wings, allowing her to fly.Though she resisted her mission and did genuinely care for the team, she nevertheless carried it out, evidence of her focus and determination, both powerful assets that nearly brought down the Fantastic Four.

Augmented with cybernetic implants created by Doom, she’s a powerful antagonist who has been a thorn for both the Fantastic Four and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Her implants allow her to fly and generate energy shields, making her secure against most forms of attack. She is susceptible to hacking though, as both Ironheart and Doom himself have demonstrated in combat against her.

5 Medusa

Medusa is one of the most powerful Inhumans and has been an enemy of the Fantastic Four at times. While a member of the original Frightful Four, she used her copious red hair as he primary weapon.

Through psionic control, she can manipulate her long, flowing hair into whips, lashes, or rope. Her hair is incredibly strong, with the tensile strength to lift an enormous weight. It’s also highly resistant to damage of any kind. Because she’s an Inhuman, Medusa is also super strong, agile, and durable.

4 Malice

Malice is a psionic entity that took over the mind of the Invisible Woman, with the unwanted assistance of the Psycho-Man and his soldier, Hate-Monger. Since she was in control of Sue Storm, Malice had all of Sue’s powers at her disposal.

Not only could Malice turn invisible, but she was also able to make others invisible, generate force fields, and in some cases create invisible projectiles. Because of this, she was very difficult to defeat, and Sue Storm repeatedly fought her for control for years.

3 Nebula / Ravonna Renslayer

Comic book fans know Ravonna Renslayer is the lover of Kang The Conqueror. They may not know she was also an enemy of the Fantastic Four. While impersonating Nebula, she manipulated the team into going into the timestream in a massive gamble to achieve the power to destroy Kang.

Though Ravonna’s powers and abilities are limited in nature, she was a master of disguise. Her ambitions also might be the greatest of any of the Fantastic Four’s enemies. She very nearly succeeded in destroying the team by bringing them face to face with Galactus and the first use of the Ultimate Nullifier in Marvel Comics.

2 Nova

Nova isn’t entirely a villain of the Fantastic Four, but as a herald of Galactus, she’s inherently at odds with them. Frankie Raye was the Human Torch’s girlfriend for a time, but then she accepted an offer by Galactus to become his herald.

She gained the Power Cosmic and assisted him without any reservations in his quest to consume worlds. With the Power Cosmic, she was able to fly at the speed of light, project devastating blasts of cosmic energy equal to that of solar flares, and manipulate cosmic energy at will.

1 Lyja

Lyja is a tragic figure who betrayed the Fantastic Four. A Skrull in disguise, she impersonated Alicia Masters for years in the comics, using her natural ability to shapeshift to spy on the team for her masters. She also has superhuman strength, agility, and stamina. Her Skrull physiology also includes wings, allowing her to fly.

Though she resisted her mission and did genuinely care for the team, she nevertheless carried it out, evidence of her focus and determination, both powerful assets that nearly brought down the Fantastic Four.

News: Cosmic Show Of Interacting Spiral Galaxies Clicked By Hubble

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has clicked yet another cosmic wonder — an interaction event of two galaxies that are so closely intertwined that they are collectively labeled as a single entity. Galactic interactions are not a rare phenomenon. In fact, a large number of galaxies show some form of interaction either with their satellites or on a much larger scale with other galaxies. The latter category can include events such as collisions that end up in a merger of galaxies or lead to bursts of star formation.In scenarios of a collision and eventual merger, the larger galaxy might retain its shape after gobbling up the much smaller galaxy. The gravitational interaction between galaxies often leads to the formation of a larger irregular galaxy, but elliptical galaxies are also known to form as a result. Some of the best examples of galactic interactions are the Messler 81 group (includes the dominant M81 galaxy interacting with two smaller NGC 3034 and NGC 3077 galaxies) and the Cartwheel group which consists of four spiral galaxies in a beautiful ring outline.The image captures by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the entity called Arp 91 which is located over 100 million light-years away from the Earth. Arp 91 consists of two spiral galaxies named NGC 5953 and NGC 5954. In the image above, NGC 5953 is the lower one with higher brightness and a more intact spiral shape. The oval-shaped galaxy at the top is NGC 5954. Interestingly, NASA notes that both the galaxies are spiral, but their shape appears oddly distorted due to their orientation in space with respect to Earth.A quick glance at the image suggests that the oval-shaped NGC 5954 is extending one of its arms towards NGC 5954 due to the strong gravitational interaction between them. Scientists believe that galaxies form arms because of their rotation around a central axis and another factor called density waves. These arms happen to be an active site of star formation and usually appear brighter because of the stars inhabiting those regions. Interestingly, a recent study revealed that one of the Milky Way’s arms is broken.As per a research paper titled ‘Photometric and Kinematic Traces of an Interaction’ that appeared in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, the two galaxies in Arp 91 system are separated by a distance of 5.8 kiloparsecs and have prominent star-forming regions. But based on Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) data, NGC 5953 has a much higher rate of star formation per unit area compared to its interacting neighbor. Interestingly, NGC 5953 is said to fall under the Class II Seyfert galaxies, which are characterized by their bright core that is known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and happen to be one of the brightest sources of electromagnetic radiation in the cosmos. Interestingly, the Hubble telescope recently captured an image of one such Seyfert galaxy that looks like a giant cosmic eye with a bright center.Source: NASA, Astronomical Society of the Pacific

News: The Voice 21: Biggest News Stories From The Cast This Week (Oct 8)

As the competition heats up on The Voice season 21, this has been another eventful week of news stories, from coach Ariana Grande getting mixed reactions to Ed Sheeran joining the show as a mentor. With the introduction of Ariana as a new coach, The Voice season 21 premiered on Monday, September 20 on NBC. Since then, dozens of aspiring singers have performed in their Blind Auditions for a chance to join one of the coaches’ teams.Alas, it’s been harder than ever for coaches Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and John Legend to convince singers to join their respective teams now that they’re up against Ariana – one of the biggest pop stars in the world at the moment. This season, the coaches were once again tasked with filling up their initial teams with 12 contestants. With that said, it is important to note that this is only the first phase of The Voice season 21. There’s still a lot of competition ahead of us.This was an important week for The Voice given that the upcoming rounds were kicked off and new additions to the show were announced. The fans have also been very active on social media as they share their opinions about the contestants who are moving forward in the competition versus singers who didn’t land a spot in any of the teams. So, it’s time to break down all of the biggest events from the week. After six episodes that aired over the course of three weeks on NBC, all of the Blind Auditions on The Voice season 21 are now officially over. Each coach currently has 12 contestants in their respective teams. Noteworthy singers include those that got all four coaches to turn around for them in the Blind Auditions, such as Girl Named Tom, Gymani, Wendy Moten, Holly Forbes, Carson Peters, Brittany Bree, and Aaron Hines. All of the singers will now be moving into the Battles round. Only eight singers are expected to survive the Battles. Then, the remaining contestants will face off in the subsequent Knockouts round.A very big moment from this week was Ariana turning around her red chair for David Vogel’s Blind Audition. David sang Ariana’s song “breathin'”, which made her feel particularly compelled to turn around for him. Alas, she was the only coach to turn around for him. As a result, The Voice fans had mixed reactions to Ariana turning her chair for David. These viewers argue that Ari probably felt guilty about not turning for a singer performing a song of hers, but that this Blind Audition was probably not worthy of a spot on Team Ariana. With that said, it should be noted that this is just a matter of personal preferences. Ariana probably heard something special in David’s voice.Now that the Blind Auditions are behind us, The Voice season 21 will move forward to the Battles round. In August 2021, four different advisors were announced for each team. Team Ariana will have Kristin Chenoweth, Team Legend will have Camila Cabello, Team Kelly will have Jason Aldean, and Team Blake will have Dierks Bentley. After the Battles, the contestants will move on to the Knockouts round. This week, pop superstar Ed Sheeran was cast as the Mega Mentor for the Knockouts. Ed will be singlehandedly mentoring all of the singers left on the show, so he’ll collaborate with all four coaches.

News: PS4s Stacked In a Tower To Prove Point About Console Repair

• October 8, 2021

In a new video, broken PlayStation 4 consoles were stacked in a tower to raise awareness about an ongoing electronics issue: the right to repair. The fight for this right expands to everything from gaming consoles (like the PlayStation and Xbox) to smartphones. Even US President Joe Biden recently supported the right to repair, but it is important to note that this right already exists in one of the largest industries in the world: the automotive industry. There are laws in the United States that require automotive companies to make sure various parts are available to consumers, as well as instruction manuals on how everything works. This right gives consumers the freedom to make repairs to their vehicles themselves. But some major electronic companies still don’t work the same way, and even though the PlayStation 5’s functions were revealed by a patent recently, users still struggle to repair their own machines.The right to repair is important for many reasons, like the fact that it helps prevent tons of perfectly functional products from sitting in a landfill. A major problem with many consoles and smartphones is that it is often much more lucrative for a company to encourage consumers to simply buy a new product than it is to sell parts and instructions on how to make the device last longer. Any console gamer will remember the Xbox 360 and the dreaded red ring of death, something that is now being mimicked by Xbox One’s black screen of death. This red ring was terrifying not only because it meant the Xbox wouldn’t work, but also because there was nothing the consumer could reasonably do about it, other than pack it in a box, send it away to Microsoft, and wait. YouTube channel TronicsFix posted a video a few days ago seeing just how many broken PS4s could be stacked on top of each other. TronicsFix brought sixty-two broken PS4s to the film location, explaining that every one of these consoles could be fixed if the parts and the instructions were available to the average consumer. The tower manages to reach forty-two PS4s before an unfortunate gust of wind causes the consoles to come crashing down. Even without stacking all of the PS4s that were obtained, TronicsFix still claimed it might be a world record.Watch the PS4 stacking video on YouTube here.Between stacking more and more PS4s, the video also discusses the right to repair. TronicsFix points out that it was easy to replace and install a part of his tractor through the manufacturer, but impossible to do so with a PS4 without turning to independent online sources. The importance of the right to repair comes from the consumer’s ability to choose how to repair the products that they have purchased. Also, the right to repair could save time and money. Modifying consoles is a tricky situation; for instance, Valve discouraged opening the Steam Deck in a recent video, citing potential fires alongside the more traditional voiding of warranty, but many believe the benefits outweigh the potential costs.Gaming consoles are hugely expensive products that are important to anyone who owns them, and it seems wrong to leave so much ownership still in the hands of huge companies like Microsoft and Sony. Hopefully, going forward, laws will be implemented that will allow consumers to be more informed about their consoles, and perhaps whatever the next red rings of death are won’t be quite as frightening as they once were, whether they appear on PlayStation or Xbox consoles.Source: TronicsFix/YouTube

News: 90 Day Fiancé: Loren Reacts To Fan Who Doubted Her Tourette Syndrome

Former 90 Day Fiancé star Loren Brovarnik recently responded to a fan who questioned her struggle with Tourette syndrome. Loren, a mother of two sons first opened up about her medical condition on 90 Day Fiancé in 2016. It was tough for her to talk about her neurological disorder because she kept it a secret for so long. While recording a confessional, Loren told TLC cameras that she was upset because Alexei Brovarnik told his mother about her diagnosis. Then the cameras showed Loren experiencing some symptoms while working on a laptop. Loren decided to speak about her medical secret after she saw critics making mean comments about her. While some fans thought her symptoms were related to drug abuse, others just made fun of her eye movement. Since then, she hasn’t tried to hide her involuntary movements and has been quite open to talking about them. She has fully accepted Tourette syndrome as a part of her. Now Loren feels confident in her own skin. The Florida resident is also an ambassador for the Tourette Association of America.However, a fan thinks that Loren’s Tourette syndrome may not be real. During a Q&A session on Instagram, the fan asked Loren whether she twitches in real life because they only saw her symptoms on the show. Former 90 Day Fiancé celeb Loren didn’t ignore the question and replied with a video in which she twitched a little. She said, “Yes, Tourette is very real for me.” She told the fan that just because she doesn’t do it all the time doesn’t mean it isn’t there. She added, “It isn’t always what is portrayed in the movies.”A few months back, when Loren was pregnant with her second baby boy, she spoke about her Tourette syndrome and whether it had affected her pregnancy. She said that her symptoms were worse during that pregnancy; it affected her a lot at night. But Alexei comforted her by saying that her body was changing, which could be triggering her symptoms. Loren also worried about passing her neurological disorder to her kids. But the couple has decided not to stress because they can’t do anything about it.They are mentally prepared to deal with Tourette syndrome if any of their children have it. It is true that Loren, who recently revealed the push present she got from Alexei, doesn’t twitch in every video that she shares on social media. But that doesn’t mean that her medical condition isn’t real. It is possible that she chooses to share pictures and videos in which she isn’t showing her symptoms so that fans don’t get distracted from the main content. Loren deserves a big round of applause because she has helped some 90 Day Fiancé fans who struggle with the same disorder.Source: Loren Brovarnik/Instagram

Welcome to the Blumhouse is back with The Manor, a film centered on an elderly woman who moves into a nursing home following a massive stroke and suspects a dark secret behind the deaths of the residents. The cast for the film is led by horror icon Barbara Hershey alongside Nicholas Alexander, Bruce Davison, Jill Larson, Fran Bennett, Katie A. Keene, and Ciera Peyton.Screen Rant got the opportunity to exclusively speak with Bruce Davison for The Manor, the terror from writer/director Axelle Carolyn’s script, and his love for the horror genre.TechCrunch: I love The Manor, it’s such a fun and really intriguing build to the final reveal. What about the film and the script really stood out to you as something you wanted to be a part of?Bruce Davison: Well, there were a number of things. First of all, meeting Axelle, the director, she had a wonderful vision, she had a vision of a story she wanted to tell and it was clear to her. She had a clarity about the kind of story she wanted to tell. Secondly, Barbara Hershey. I did my first film with Barbara in 1968, so coming full circle with us in our lives was really, you know, kind of the seven ages of man of actors.It’s just an intriguing story and it plugs into a fear that a lot of people haven’t really gotten a chance to look at, which is kind of special, which is who believes you when you get old? Who believes you and then who cares when you get old? We don’t die young, that’s what happens to all of us.It’s definitely a theme that does not get explored as often as it could in the genre, so I’m glad that Axelle brought that to life. What were some of the biggest creative challenges for you coming into this project?Bruce Davison: Oh, gosh, it’s not so much a creative challenge anymore, because I’ve gotten to the point in my life where pretty much what you see is what you get, you know? I don’t have to spend a lot of time in makeup unless it’s horror makeup and I just like to be able to find a character and something about the character that I want to enjoy.The character I’m playing is filled with joy, he just has a blast and I love that. What was interesting is Axelle would encourage that in different scenes too. Something would happen and I find a joke in it or some funny twist on it and she said, “Yeah, that’s it. That’s good.” So this was one of the easier kinds of journeys that I’d had in a movie. I mean, I didn’t have to suffer a lot. Villains are always great, too, you don’t suffer as much as a victim or as the hero. Since the chemistry between you and the whole friend group in the home is such a vital element of making this film so entertaining, what was it like building that rapport and chemistry with one another?Bruce Davison: It was so great. It was Jill [Larson] and Fran Bennett and Katie Amanda Keane, all of them brought their own characters so thoroughly to it. What was wonderful about Axelle is she puts four people around a table and she’s cast, people that have their own agendas and their own ideas and their own, as actors, great creativity. Then, you know, it’s just bouncing a ball into the middle of that and see who swats it around and that’s what was fun. Because we’ve been there a while and we’re all looking to find joy in whatever life is left.This is not the first time we’ve seen you in the horror genre, of course, but what is it about this genre you feel keeps bringing you back to it?Bruce Davison: Vincent Price. I always wanted to be Vincent Price. I met him at a dinner one time and he was just the sweetest man. And I said, “Did you enjoy it all” and he said, “Yeah, some stick to the wall, some didn’t. But they were all fun. It was just fun to do it. And I got to make a name for myself in that genre.” And I thought, “Yeah, I love something like that.” That’s great.

Then, you know, it’s just bouncing a ball into the middle of that and see who swats it around and that’s what was fun. Because we’ve been there a while and we’re all looking to find joy in whatever life is left.

This is not the first time we’ve seen you in the horror genre, of course, but what is it about this genre you feel keeps bringing you back to it?

Bruce Davison: Vincent Price. I always wanted to be Vincent Price. I met him at a dinner one time and he was just the sweetest man. And I said, “Did you enjoy it all” and he said, “Yeah, some stick to the wall, some didn’t. But they were all fun. It was just fun to do it. And I got to make a name for myself in that genre.” And I thought, “Yeah, I love something like that.” That’s great.

News: Skyrim’s Stones Of Barenziah: Is The Reward Worth It

Finding the Stones of Barenziah is perhaps one of the most notorious quests in all of Skyrim, as players are required to scour the whole of the game’s expansive map looking for the pieces of Barenziah’s Crown. Many players may not even bother putting forth the effort, as it’s notably difficult to locate the easily missable, unmarked items required. As a result, few ever receive the reward the quest offers. However, is the Stones of Barenziah reward even worth it in the first place?The quest “No Stone Unturned” begins when players discover their first Stone of Barenziah, a collection of 24 unusual gems scattered across the entire map. Upon bringing it to an appraiser – something that requires that the Dragonborn become a member of Skyrim’s Thieves Guild and talk to Vex – it kicks off the objective of finding every last one of the unmarked gems. Once all of them have been recovered, players then have to retrieve the Crown of Barenziah, which can be recovered from Tolvald’s Cave.Related: Skyrim Side Quests You Can Just Ignore The reward for collecting all the Stones of Barenizah is a unique ability, Prowler’s Profit, which significantly increases the chance of finding multiple gems in places like chests or looted enemies. The completed Crown of Barenziah is also displayed alongside other recovered items in the Thieves Guild headquarters. Other than that, though, there isn’t much incentive to locating all of the Stones of Barenziah, especially given how difficult it is compared to most other and better side quests in Skyrim.Prowler’s Profit might seem like a worthwhile ability for players who are just starting out, but even then, its usefulness is questionable at best. Many Skyrim players aren’t necessarily worried about profits, especially those who have joined the Thieves Guild, a necessary requirement for appraising the Stones of Barenziah in the first place. Stolen items are objectively easier to find and turn over for a profit than legitimately obtained loot. On top of that, given how much Skyrim’s map needs to be explored to find the Stones of Barenziah, most players will be well beyond the point of lacking in gold. The reward is only really worthwhile for those who are looking to fully complete Skyrim’s Thieves Guild collection. So, the answer to “Is the Stones of Barenziah reward worth it?” would be “no.”Perhaps that’s why it’s so common for Skyrim players to simply mod their way around the difficulty. The Stones of Barenziah Quest Markers mod on the game’s Nexus page has over 1.5 million downloads for Skyrim Special Edition alone, and multiple guides and checklists can be found in Skyrim’s online community to help find the unmarked Stones of Barenziah for players who don’t want to mod their game. Overall, the Stones of Barenziah seems like a good idea in practice. A scavenger hunt across Skyrim is a great way to make players explore locations they otherwise might not consider venturing into, and it gives even high-leveled characters something to strive for. In practice, though, the effort it takes just isn’t worth the paltry reward.Next: Skyrim’s Toughest Bosses (That Aren’t Dragons)Source: Nexusfrom ScreenRant – Feed https://ift.tt/3uWoxtK https://ift.tt/3FrFYaB

The quest “No Stone Unturned” begins when players discover their first Stone of Barenziah, a collection of 24 unusual gems scattered across the entire map. Upon bringing it to an appraiser – something that requires that the Dragonborn become a member of Skyrim‘s Thieves Guild and talk to Vex – it kicks off the objective of finding every last one of the unmarked gems. Once all of them have been recovered, players then have to retrieve the Crown of Barenziah, which can be recovered from Tolvald’s Cave.

News: Venom: Let There Be Carnage – Which Character Are You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

Picking up where Venom left off, Venom: Let There Be Carnage faces the wide-eyed symbiote with his greatest enemy: Carnage. First, though, Venom will have to come to terms with both his host body and his own place in the world.RELATED: 10 Explanations For Venom 2’s Post-Credit SequenceVenom: Let There Be Carnage spends most of its time on the dynamic between Eddie Brock and Venom. However, there is still a wide array of both returning and new characters who can each be assigned one of the 12 signs on the astrological chart.12 Aries – Cletus KasadyThe Aries is someone who gets angry so regularly that they forget why they became angry in the first place. Rams get bored without constant stimuli and will do just about anything if egged on. Cletus Kasady almost never stops getting angry.Kasady says he’s had a hard life (i.e. abuse from his grandmother and mother) but he doesn’t know how to use his anger for positive means. The red-haired serial killer can come across as simple, like a constantly grinning child. His preferred stimulus is (fittingly) carnage, which he embraces frequently. Going to that prison cell was one of the worst decisions Eddie Brock has made. Had he stayed away from Kasady, the killer would never have been exposed to the symbiote which allows him to experience violence on a whole new level.11 Taurus – Anne WeyingA Taurus is going to be happy with the status quo. They think logically and frequently find themselves rigidly adhering to a schedule. Because of this, the Bull is typically viewed as hard-headed. Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) is probably the only non-symbiote stubborn enough to be able to put up with Eddie Brock.On top of being the most likable character in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Weying is a strictly logical thinker. Emotion hardly ever takes over with her and she can embrace potentially catastrophic situations with a clear head. This agency was seen in Venom and again in Venom: Let There Be Carnage (although with less screentime). 10 Gemini – VenomA twin can capture an entire room’s attention with their voice. They have the mind of a Renaissance man, engaging in many topics. Lastly, a Gemini can flip any awkward conversation with a joke. All of these traits indicate someone who’s great at a party. And, as seen in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Venom is great at a party.RELATED: The 10 Best Quotes From Venom Let There Be CarnageA Renaissance man is someone who can tackle just about any task with a comparable level of efficiency. Venom has a child’s curious mind and tends to give his best shot no matter the scenario. Venom also has the tendency to drop a joke in the middle of an argument, which deflates the tension between him and host: Eddie Brock. This occasionally results in some of Venom’s most badass quotes.9 Cancer – Dr. Dan LewisCrabs are extra sensitive to stimuli and frequently seek a safe environment. A Cancer will forgive a transgression, but never reach the point of forgetting it. They will put themselves in a vulnerable position for others often, but typically have one personal line that must not be crossed.Dr. Dan Lewis (now the fiancé to Weying) doesn’t have too much to do in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, but when he does step into the spotlight it’s for good reason. When his fiancée is kidnapped, this is when Dan puts his tension with Brock aside in favor of proactivity.8 Leo – CarnageWhen interacting with the Lion, a big personality should be expected. Leos are the creative type with both the desire and the ability to make an impression. Carnage makes an impression no matter which room he’s in, even if the other occupants don’t tend to leave it alive.Carnage employs creative solutions in his terror (i.e. letting the other prisoners out during his/Kasady’s jailbreak). Mostly, though, Carnage wants dominance. He wants to kill Venom (essentially his father) and bring harm to the world with impunity.7 Virgo – Detective MulliganAs long as there is an activity in progress, the Virgo will be fine. If they don’t feel like their talents are being utilized, though, they’ll shut down. Overall, the Virgo is a good-hearted fixer with a judgmental tone. Detective Mulligan is a fixer and is constantly on the move (while also using his talents on the job).RELATED: 10 Reasons Why The MCU’s Flash Thompson Could Be The Symbiote’s Next Host In VenomMulligan gets a fair amount of Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s narrative heft. He’s responsible for Shriek losing her eye and at least partially responsible for Kasady’s incarceration. Additionally, Mulligan seems like a man who only feels alive when he’s wearing the badge.6 Libra – Mrs. ChenScales are social butterflies that prefer a permanent sense of peace. A Libra likes to analyze every side of a conflict as opposed to just their own but has a hard time making decisions in times of stress. Mrs. Chen certainly engages in analysis, constantly criticizing Brock’s latest decision or physical appearance every time he’s in her store.She is one of the very few people who know about Venom. Most would look at the situation with a frightened disposition; Mrs. Chen, however, looks at it from both Venom and Brock’s viewpoints (realizing they need one another). Furthermore, Mrs. Chen seems perfectly content in her shop, providing her with a sense of peace.5 Scorpio – Eddie BrockThe scorpion is content sitting silently in the back corner of the room. They’ll kick back with their legs stretched out, seemingly uncaring about the opinions of others. However, if there’s chemistry, the Scorpio’s eyes will hold on and never let go. Eddie Brock doesn’t have many close people in his life, but those who he loves he protects with everything in him.Eddie Brock has changed since Venom, but he’s yet to fully reach adulthood. He has difficulty expressing his feelings, especially to Weying (whom he still carries a torch for), but he can still captivate her with his gaze.4 Sagittarius – Young ShriekThe Archer is emotional but has the drive to improve themselves. A Sagittarius uses their words like weapons but typically speaks in truth. They also have a tendency to question their worth.The younger version of Shriek/Barrison is in only one scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, but with that time it’s clear that she speaks honestly. She’s been beaten down by life and the cruel people within it. But with Kasady, she feels free to engage in open communication.3 Capricorn – Dr. PazzoThe Capricorn is the friend who seems older than their age would indicate. They are responsible and take their particular duty in life seriously. However, the Goat is initially cold to strangers and represses emotion in favor of career success. Dr. Pazzo, Shriek’s main physician, isn’t in the movie much but with the time provided it’s obvious she’s career-driven.RELATED: 8 Ways Eddie Brock & Venom Are Friendship GoalsPazzo is outright cold to everyone she meets. This is doubly applicable to Shriek, to whom Dr. Pazzo is especially cruel. She lacks emotion in all of her scenes, frequently with the steely reserve of someone focused on their career and productivity.2 Aquarius – Frances Barrison / ShriekThe Water Bearer is uninterested in feelings. They are far more compelled to build a life composed of as much independence as possible. Natural, considering an Aquarius tends to feel like an outcast anyway.Frances Barrison is utterly uninterested in spending her time with another human being, with the sole exception of Kassidy. Outside of Carnage, she’s the movie’s most anti-social character. Barrison (Shriek) is all about escaping from prison in favor of a life where she can do what she wants when she wants to do it.1 Pisces – Young CletusA Fish has an odd way of seeming both wise and immature simultaneously. They frequently confuse reality for dreams and have the fast-beating heart of a romantic.The younger version of Kasady is barely in Venom: Let There Be Carnage but it was obvious even at that age that he had the heart of a romantic. His love for Barrison is what sustained him (and vice versa for her). In his jell cell, all Kasady could do was talk to his love and dream.NEXT: 10 Saddest Things About Venom In Sony’s Spider-Man Universefrom ScreenRant – Feed https://ift.tt/3ajD49x https://ift.tt/3heGi2R
